Playa de la Almadraba

Playa de la Almadraba is a narrow beach on the Mediterranean coast stretching 100 meters long and 5 meters wide with fine golden sand. The beach occupies a compact strip along the waterfront between two surrounding coves.

The name comes from an ancient tuna fishing technique that Phoenician people used in Mediterranean waters centuries ago. This fishing method shaped the area's development and remains connected to its modern identity.

The beach reflects the working traditions of local fishing communities who continue their daily maritime practices nearby. These fishing practices shape how the place is used and experienced by both residents and visitors.

The beach has lifeguards on duty during summer months, shower facilities, and parking spaces for visitors. These basic amenities make it convenient for a daytime visit.

The beach sits in a tight spot between two rocky coves, giving it a sheltered feeling compared to other open Mediterranean beaches. This confined location keeps the water calm and creates a quieter atmosphere.
